the guy is an assistant coach for a reason. probably got caught up in the flow of the game. anyway, boylen isn't the one you should hating on. because the biggest blunder of the game was pop getting himself tossed.
I was at the game and the fans where I was sitting sure as didn't forget that Manu and Kawhi sat on the f*#%ing bench while our lead slipped away. Pops ejection got us back in the game and ultimately cost us the game.

Spurs went from Budenholzer/Brett Brown to Boylen/Udoka/Sean Marks. Massive downgrade.
Hilarious thing about Boylen is that he's supposed to be a specialist in developing big men yet he convinced the front office that Ayres was a decent player.
Actually this is even more embarrassing for Boylen considering he has a LOT more experience than Bud. Boylen's been an NBA assistant since '92. If you count college, Boylen's assistant coaching career goes back to 1987. Bud didn't become a coaching assistant until '96.people comparing Boylen with Bud need to take a step back...
Bud was with the team for nearly 20 years and was Pop's top assistant the last 7 years. Boylen has been with the team for, give or take, 6 months?
Dude screwed up, apologized for screwing up, and hopefully will learn from this. If this keeps on happening, then sure, it's worrisome.
It sounds like Pop may be solely responsible for watching the clock which is a little troubling. Leonard's a little shy yet but Manu could have given Boylen an elbow. In the middle of the season it's easy to say "it's just one game", but that one game at the end of the year may mean some needed rest for the aging. If this is an issue for Pop I'd look for him to get a few heads together.
Maybe Tim should have had a quiet word and asked the assistant coach to put Kawhi in and Manu in earlier. No assistant coach is gonna argue with what Mr Duncan has got to say. Our gentle giant has to start cracking skulls, metaphorically speaking. Just like he never should have sat back in silence while on the bench in a critical possession in the finals. I think it's time for Tim to speak up more if he sees something going on that he doesn't think is right. Not just in this instance, maybe he didn't give a Kawhi was on the bench, but for future moments he may need to step up and be heard.
There are other things to consider than just Kawhi. His minutes could have nothing to do with him if the game plan is predicated on a different lineup that finds early success. there could be all kinds of reasons before its his knees. Not to mention that this team is notorious for resting minor injuries early in the season. Lower minutes for your 3rd or 4th or 5th option is no big shock on a winning team either. You just can't grasp any kind of bigger picture.
You want to niggle me about this?? Lol. Wrong. It was a lame thing to say and it certainly doesn't make him look any stronger of an assistant to anyone.
More mind blowing is that Manu had to put himself back in the game. He scored like 18 points in a row, and had to put himself back in the game. Let that marinate.
and it's also probably good that he doesn't make millions of dollars a year just to know who to put in the game.
well coach pop knows he has a new assistant coach and still he forces and the ejection so that makes no sense in light of the complaints I am reading. The head coach should stay on the floor.
You know what's funny is that if we would've won against Portland, some here would've said we only won because of Manu's flashback performance, and that if we played them in the playoffs, we'd lose cause there'd be no way Manu plays like that again. There's no ing pleasing some of you.
boylen doesn't pass the eye test for me.
Truth bombs, DPG!
Lol Tpark getting shat on.
Parker can handle the rock. So he had to run the team where as Leonard is not. He's just a wing player and a defender. When Pop goes to up tempo he sometimes pulls Leonard. Leonard's transition defense is not that great. He doesn't recover as fast as people think he does but he's a good perimeter defender in the half court set.
Yup cause you know me.
Get a life.
Don't you still live at home and need mommy to make dinner every night?
Oh my... Whatever will I do??!
She makes the most healthy of casseroles tbh...Gotta keep his baby lean.
My intent wasn't to sh*t on T Park. It was to show him he's pointing fingers at everyone but himself. I don't have to know you in real life; we are talking about ST. On ST I see you acting the fool & pointing fingers while doing 0 to up the quality of ST by posting quality material.
I totally agree! Boylen lost us that game! Failure to put Kawhi & Manu in! Ridiculous! He owes apologies to both of them! Can we get a better assistant coach!
